Comparison of the carbon footprint of the dietary patterns of the inhabitants of the city of Cali and the "EAT-Lancet diet

декабря, 2020
Global

The objective of this study is to compare, in nutritional and environmental terms, the dietary patterns of the inhabitants of Cali, Colombia, with a world reference diet based on environmental sustainability EAT-Lancet. The dietary patterns of the city were obtained through the dietary intake questionnaire of the National Survey of Nutritional Status - ENSIN in which information from 189 people between 18-64 years of age was used.

How does climate exacerbate root causes of conflict in Zimbabwe? An impact pathway analysis

декабря, 2020
Zimbabwe

This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Zimbabwe, using an impact pathway analysis. Two main impact pathways are identified: 1) Food insecurity and competition over access and use of natural resources; 2) Water scarcity and conflict in Bulawayo and Matabeleland North.

Approximating soil organic carbon stock in the Eastern Plains of Colombia

декабря, 2020
Colombia

In Colombia, the rise of agricultural and pastureland expansion continues to exert increasing pressure on the structure and ecological processes of savannahs in the Eastern Plains. However, the effect of land use change on soil properties is often unknown due to poor access to remote areas. Effective management and conservation of soils requires the development spatial approaches that measure and predict dynamic soil properties such as soil organic carbon (SOC).

A critical review of the current global ex situ conservation system for plant agrobiodiversity. I. History of the development of the global system in the context of the political/legal framework and its major conservation components

декабря, 2020
Global

The history of ex situ conservation is relatively short, not more than a century old. During the middle of last century, triggered by the realization that genetic erosion was threatening the existing landraces and wild relatives of the major food crops, global efforts to collect and conserve the genetic diversity of these threatened resources were initiated, predominantly orchestrated by FAO.

Challenges to operationalizing sustainable diets: Perspectives from Kenya and Vietnam

декабря, 2020
Kenya

Despite the urgent need for comprehensive food systems strategies, the challenge lies in defining feasible, evidence-based intervention points. Too little is known about issues food systems decision-makers and other change agents are running up against, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where food systems are the most vulnerable to a growing number of intertwined crises.

Production models and technical assistance towards sustainable livestock in the department of Caquetá

декабря, 2020
Netherlands

This info note summarizes the objectives, scope, and intervention logic of the livestock component of the PDET Routes project, which is implemented in four municipalities in Caquetá. The conditions that converge there, such as the high and growing rate of deforestation, environmental impacts, productive orientation, and types of land tenure, enable the implementation of sustainable livestock production models and the development of technical assistance programs in the productive, economic, social, and environmental spheres.

Risk of Climate-Related Impacts on Global Rangelands - A Review and Modelling Study

декабря, 2020
Kenya

Climate change threatens the ability of global rangelands to provide food, support livelihoods and deliver important ecosystems services. The extent and magnitude of potential impacts are however poorly understood. In this study, we review the risk of climate impacts along the rangeland systems food supply chain. We also present results from biophysical modelling simulations and spatial data analyses to identify where and to what extent rangelands may be at climatic risk.
